HART doesn’t have anything special planned for Thursday, but Pinellas has been running a “Dump the Pump” campaign for several months, PSTA spokesman Bob Lasher said in an email. The agency has ads on the backs of five buses and more than 20 bench backs at stops.

“In the past, we found that the efforts and cost for a one-day event were disappointingly high, so we started promoting the idea when gasoline prices neared $4 per gallon and are taking a more long-term approach,” Lasher said. “We like to tell people that they’ll pay more for an average fill-up than for 31 days of unlimited rides on PSTA.”
